1 Introduction

The VR20M-MFand VR50M-MF are mullion-mount card readers with modern anti-hacking security over
OSDP and support for the traditional Wiegand protocol. When installed as part of a secure system over
OSDP, the communication from the reader or the controller they are connected to cannot be compromised.
The readers are made of hard wearing materials and will endure most weather conditions. The readers are
easy to mount and can be mounted on a flat surface. The readers can be cleaned with most kinds of
domestic detergents. All readers have a multicolour light frame. The VR50M-MF has a keypad for PIN
code.

5 Mounting and connecting

The mullion readers are surface-mounted readers. The readers can be mounted with cables led through the
back of the unit or led in from either side through knockout gaps.

For wiring details please refer to:

l Connecting the cables on page13.

5.1 Mounting a reader

To ensure a close fit, mount the reader on a flat surface.

To attach the base to a surface:

1. Make a small hole in the back of the base gasket (item1 in the diagram below). Use this hole to feed
the cable through the gasket and into the reader base.

2. Attach the base to the wall with three screws: one in the middle at the top of the base, and one in
each of the corners at the bottom of the base.

1 Cable entry through base gasket

2 Tamper screw

3 Tamper base

3. If tamper protection is required, fix the screw (item 3) into the tamper base (item 2).
Do not over tighten the screw as this can damage the tamper base.

4. Continue to follow the instructions detailed in Connecting the cables on page13.

5.2 Mounting a reader with cables fed from the side

If the cables are fed from the side:

1. Remove the gasket from the base.

2. Identify which of the knockouts the cables should be fed through.

3. Use a pliers to pull the knockout away from the base.

4. Remove the corresponding knockout on the cover.

5. Attach the base to the wall with three screws: one in the middle at the top of the base and one in
each of the corners at the bottom of the base.

1 Tamper base

2 Tamper screw

6. If tamper protection is required, fix the screw into the hole on the tamper base. Do not over
tighten the screw as this can damage the tamper base.

7. Feed the cables through the opening and reinsert the gasket. Follow the instructions for
Connecting the cables on the next page.

Vanderbilt recommend sealing the gap that the knockout creates with a silicon
sealant. Do this after you have closed the reader. Please note that a reader with a
removed knockout does not meet the standard for IP 55.

5.3 Connecting the cables

5.3.1 Connecting the reader in OSDP mode

Use the terminal block marked +-BA (see number 2 in Package contents on page9 and a pair of twisted
screened cable to connect the cables in OSDP mode.

1. Attach the cables according to the respective indicators on the second, +-BA terminal block (lower
terminal block) and the base:

Reader Controller

+ +12V

- 0V

B B

A A

2. Insert the ridge on the end of the terminal block marked +-BA into the slot marked +,-,B,A.

3. Gently push the terminal block towards the base until it clicks.

4. Push the cables back.

Please note that you must set the Jumpers to configure your application.

For more information on setting the Jumpers in OSDP mode see Setting the
Jumpers for OSDP on page16.

For more information on setting the Jumpers in Wiegand mode see Setting the
Jumpers for Wiegand on page17.

On the reverse of the front plate, Jumper 3 is used to determine EOL (see the diagram in Connecting
the cables above). By default EOL is ON and the reader acts as the last reader on the bus. However,
if the reader is an intermediate reader on the bus, Jumper 3 must be removed.

5.3.2 Connecting the reader in Wiegand mode

Use the terminal blocks marked +-BA and RY/TGH and a pair of twisted screened cables (4 pairs +
screen), such as Belden 9502 to connect the reader in Wiegand mode.

1. Attach the cables according to the respective indicators on the communication and power
terminal block (+-BA terminal block (lower terminal block)):

This connection is optional.

When the tamper output option is configured there is no yellow indication input. In this instance,
you can turn on the yellow indication LED by setting both the red and green indication inputs low.
Both the red and green indication LEDs are turned off at this time.

The buzzer is activated by setting the horn input low. The buzzer is deactivated by setting the horn
input high.

3. Insert the ridge on the end of the upper or lower terminal block into the corresponding slot.

4. Gently push the terminal block towards the base until it clicks.

5. Remove the Jumper 3 (see the diagram in Connecting the cables on page13). Jumper 3 is used to
determine EOL. By default the reader has EOL ON. EOL is always off in Wiegand mode.

Please note that you must set the Jumpers to configure your application. For more information on

5.4 Setting the Jumpers

There are three jumpers inside the front of the reader. Use the jumpers to set the reader to OSDP or
Wiegand mode, to set OSDP Addressing or Wiegand format, and to set the End Of Line (EOL) status
for the reader.

1 Set reader to OSDP or Wiegand mode

2 Set OSDP addressing or Wiegand formats

3 Set End Of Line (EOL) status for the reader

* This indicates the bottom of the reader

5.5 Setting the Jumpers for OSDP

The diagrams below show how to position the Jumpers to get the desired functions from the terminal
blocks. Note that the EOL is ON for a sole reader or for the last reader on the RS485 bus.

9.2 Setting OSDP address for the reader

You can set the reader address to 1 (default setting), 2 , or programmed with a value from 1 to 8 using the
Jumper. Place the Jumper in one of the three positions shown in the diagram below to achieve the desired
address. Additional addresses are automatically assigned by the controller from 3 to 8 following the order
in which the readers are powered up.

When the reader is first powered up, the yellow LED flashes. The flashing lights stop when it is correctly
configured to SiPass integrated. This can be tested by holding a card next to the reader. A correctly
configured reader acknowledges the card according to the SiPass integrated settings.

Please note that a new reader will always get the next free bus address. For example, if a reader with bus
address 5 is removed and a new reader is installed, the new reader gets address 5.

10.2 Setting the OSDP address for the reader

The ACTpro 1500 controller automatically assigns an address to each reader. Therefore, Jumper 2 should
be removed for OSDP operation. The serial number of the reader is used to identify and enrol a reader on
the system . The serial number can be found on a sticker on the reverse of the front cover of the reader
(bordered in red in the image below).
